MCQ

The process in which higher hydrocarbons are broken down into lower hydrocarbons by controlled pyrolysis, is called

A
Hydrolysis
✓
Cracking
C
Oxidation
D
Reduction

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

Cracking

b
This process of breaking down the less volatile higher hydrocarbons into different types of more volatile lower hydrocarbons by the application of heat is called cracking or pyrolysis. The cracking of alkanes involves the cleavage of $C - C$ and $C - H$ bonds.
